So now we know how to set up the 'Delay Box'.
Has anyone already used it?

NL/ML Delay Box

Currently using it in the shop and it works great!! Just as you would imagine.
This thread has been viewed 170 times - but noone (except BeoMegaMan) has tried this box.
Makes me wonder why people complained about the sounddalay!
The guys in Struer created a solution....that noone uses.
Grrr! Millemissen

There was no need to make one!Other manufacturers devices do the job just as well, ok they may not have ml socketry! There was no need to try and reinvent the wheel! Scarce R&D resources could have been better used elsewhere me thinks!Woof!!!

A similar model of the Mastelink Delay box has been available for approx 2 years.
To coop with the longer delay caused by the BeoLink NL<>ML converter and the different amounts of
delay time for different sources, it needed an update to become more "intelligent".
No necessity to re-invent the "wheel ", just some very effective "wheel balancing" ...
Latest info about setup of the delay box are:
Settings on a NL/ML Delay Box (used with the NL/ML Converter) should be 1-0-1-1-0 (dip switch 2+5 down)
instead of 1-1-0-1-1 (dip switch 3 down) as described in the supplied quick guide.

Will check these settings over the WE
Additionally BeoVision 11 / BeoPlay V1 Setting "STREAM DELAY, WIRED" should be changed to 50 ms ...

Hi StUrrock,
could you please be more precise, about "which other manufacturers devices do the job as well"?
And how would they work in a NL/ML-setup WITHOUT "ml socketry"?

We have been using a box from Kramer for many years to solve both this and similar sound delay issues.In an ML system we keep the control wires connected and then just take out the audio wires and then make some adjustments on the Kramer then Bingo sound delay has gone.It is no secret and indeed B&O produced a white paper on the subject some years ago when there was a delay between HIDEF TVs and the sound in link rooms.Lindy also make a similar box.
In the system diagram shown, thanks for that Millemissen, if the BS4 shown had speakers connected directly to it surely then the BS4 would be out of synch with everything else?So now we know how to set up the 'Delay Box'. Has anyone already used it? Greetings Millemissen
Thanks for your clarification.
I am sure these solutions works, but they aren't user (or installer) friendly, you must admit.
So we should be happy that Bang & Olufsen has made some "wheel balancing" with the new box.

It is so - this box 'only' has an effect on rooms connected via ML. The audiosystem MUST be in Option 0 (with no speakers).
This was not described in the part of the info, that I published.
I just wanted to push the discussion on this subject 😎
